Tim’s transformation from West Coast skateboarder, to Bible student, to video producer may seem surprising, but his unorthodox journey to faith has given him a unique perspective and passion for the Bible.

Uniquely Unique | What Does it Mean to Be Human (Ep 1) BioLogos 2022-10-04 | Humans share 98.6 of their DNA with chimpanzees. Other animals also have the capacity for language, technology, and possibly even morality. And our own bodies consist of more non-human cells than human cells. These similarities invite us to wonder, are humans really all that different from other species? Are we just one species among many or are the things which distinguish us from other species differences of another order? In other words, are we uniquely unique? In this new Language of God mini series — Uniquely Unique — Jim is joined by our producer Colin for a deep dive into these questions and more. The quest? To try to come to a better understanding of what it means to be human, to bear the image of God. Along the way, you’ll hear from a variety of experts from a wide range of disciplines, drawing on biology, history, anthropology, philosophy, theology and more to try to make sense of our human identity.
Uniquely Unique | Biology (Ep 2) BioLogos 2022-10-04 | When looking for the thing that makes humans unique on this planet, looking at our biology is an obvious first step. In this episode four experts—an anatomist, a geneticist, a paleo-anthropologist and a neurologist—help us look for something about us, in our bodies, cells, or brains, that make us what we are. In the search we end up finding as much continuity with the animal world as we find uniqueness. In this new Language of God mini series — Uniquely Unique — Jim is joined by our producer Colin for a deep dive into these questions and more. The quest? To try to come to a better understanding of what it means to be human, to bear the image of God.

Uniquely Unique | Morality, Language, Culture (Ep 3) BioLogos 2022-10-04 | Humans and animals have a lot in common, especially when you look only to biology. When you start looking at things like morality, language, and culture, you start to see that our species is quite an outlier. But to what extent do we see the building blocks of morality in other animals? And what is different about the way we communicate from the way so many other creatures communicate? And what is so special about the culture we have developed? Those are the questions we explore with our guests. In this new Language of God mini series—Uniquely Unique—Jim is joined by our producer Colin for a deep dive into these questions and more. The quest?

Uniquely Unique Technology (Ep 4) BioLogos 2022-10-04 | Maybe you’ve noticed that we humans are the only creatures making podcasts. That’s at least partially because we’re the only creatures that have developed the tools to make it happen—microphones, computers, word processors. But technology encompasses a lot more than just machines with microchips. In this episode we explore our use of technology starting with the simplest tools up to the recent advances in artificial intelligence to see what role it has had in our development and in our identity as a member of the human species. In this new Language of God mini series—Uniquely Unique—Jim is joined by our producer Colin for a deep dive into these questions and more. The quest?

Uniquely Unique | Our Sad History (Ep 5) BioLogos 2022-10-04 | In the long history of searching for what makes humans special we have repeatedly caused great harm to our neighbors, both human and non-human. In fact, it seems that one of the things that makes our species unique is our ability to cause such destruction. The search for human uniqueness can lead to a kind of thinking that devalues everything non-human. When ‘human’ is defined too narrowly, that can leave some humans out. In the first part of this episode we look at how ideas of race have caused us to treat a large portion of our population as less than human. Then we look at how human-centric thinking has had a detrimental effect on our planet. In this new Language of God mini series—Uniquely Unique—Jim is joined by our producer Colin for a deep dive into these questions and more. The quest?

Uniquely Unique | Image of God (Ep 6) BioLogos 2022-10-04 | As the series comes to a close, Jim and Colin take stock of one more distinguishing feature of humans—the image of God. While the previous episodes in the series question if humans are uniquely unique from other species from the ground up, this episode changes perspectives to approach an answer from the Heavens down. As usual, they bring in a range of experts from a variety of fields to weigh in on what it means to be made in the image of God. They come to some significant conclusions, including a warning against idolizing human rationality, but also point out where this quest may continue.

Creation Groans | Hope on the Other Side BioLogos 2022-09-28 | How should we respond to a problem that seems unsolvable?

Richard Middleton, Being Sacred in a Human World BioLogos 2022-02-08 | What is the human purpose in God’s world? And how does creation care figure in that purpose? This presentation will sketch the biblical story from creation to eschaton, a sacramental vision that configures the earthly realm as God’s intended dwelling, which is now desecrated (never simply “secular”), but destined for transformation into holiness. This vision may empower the church for the exercise of wise and faithful human action in the healing of the earth, in anticipation of the day when Christ returns to make all things new.

Why Trust Science? BioLogos 2022-01-24 | For centuries, science has increased our understanding of the world around us, yet for some, science feels untrustworthy. But we can discern when science is credible by understanding when scientists are working within their field of expertise, checking their work with others, and whether a particular finding builds upon the confidence that comes from a multitude of data and a community of those searching for truth.

Science, Medicine and Ethics BioLogos 2021-09-23 | Science and medicine have brought about many amazing advances that can help alleviate suffering and pain. But new technologies also bring with them questions about how and when these technologies should be used. Science alone cannot answer these questions. Instead, ethics and religion must come alongside science and medicine to discern what might bring harm and what might bring healing and relief.
Digging Deeper: A Testimony BioLogos 2021-08-27 | Garrett was taught to dig into scriptures from a young age and was also intrigued by science and loved to read. One day he found some books that convinced him that Christians should be leery of science. It wasn’t until much later that he started thinking it wasn’t as simple as he’d been made to believe. He kept digging into science and the word and came to understand that he did not have to choose.

More Than Your Genes BioLogos 2021-07-14 | What does it mean to be human? Science can help us understand how our species came to be but it cannot define our purpose for being. For that we must look beyond science and confront what it means to be made in the image of God.
